Hygiene

People want to know they’re staying, eating or working in a safe and clean environment. And businesses want to know they’ve done all they can to cut the risk of disruption from absence. But good hygiene is a joint effort that depends on colleagues and customers getting into the habit of effective hand washing.

Hygiene is about business. Find out how.

Hygiene done right can clean away sick leave, impress visitors and boost your employees. Especially in the new era of open desk policies and activity-based office landscapes. But what office areas have the biggest impact on your visitors’ image and the wellbeing of your staff? This tool gives you an instant overview of the key hygiene areas at a clean modern office. It also features a customised selection of products for each area, together with dispenser placement recommendations and tips and tricks for smarter cleaning.

Conference rooms

Meetings will always play a decisive role at the office. Make sure to make the most out of your meetings.

Conference rooms reflect the image of your company – this is where you bring your visitors. And conference rooms need to facilitate a broad spectrum of events. From keynote presentations and business-critical meetings to informal discussions, lunches and coffee breaks. This makes hygiene solutions an essential part of modern conference rooms.

Conference rooms - Tips & tricks

• Remember to clean shared high-touch surfaces such as armrests and keyboards.
• Have a designated space for placing food and refreshments as close to the door as possible as this will make things easier for service staff.
• Place bins so it becomes natural to use them on the way out of the conference room. Have many refill bags for the bins available, and make sure to check and change bin liners quite often to ensure a fresh environment throughout the day.
• Put up an image showcasing the conference room as you prefer it to look – as inspiration for cleaners and employees to support maintaining that impression.

Office areas

The office as we know it is changing. New office landscapes create new requirements on hygiene.

The office landscape is changing from cubicles to activity-based areas and open desk policies. A study conducted in 2013 show that around 35% of office workers share either desk and/or equipment with both known and unknown people. Out of these, more than 60% claim concern with the hygiene situation at work.* This puts new requirements on hygiene. For example, employees are required to take more personal responsibility, such as using sanitisers or cleaning the workspace. Do your employees have access to what they need to do so?

Sanitiser

In offices with open landscapes, where people sit close together, a hand sanitiser can improve the employee’s hygiene and well-being. A flexible stand is the ideal solution to place the sanitiser where it matters most: in high-traffic areas, where they provide the best support.

Hygiene Stand

In openplan offices, where people sit close together, it is ideal to place hygiene stands with hand sanitiser and facial tissue to improve hygiene. Position them in high-traffic areas, where they provide the best support.

Office areas - Tips & tricks

• In a hot-desk office, be sure to clean shared high-touch equipment such as keyboards and phones.
• Clean hands make clean equipment – provide your employees with clean, well-stocked hand washing facilities and with sanitisers if appropriate.
• In line of sight means in line of thinking – make sure to place hygiene equipment easily visible and accessible where there’s a natural flow of traffic.

Washrooms

Washrooms are more than the left over space. They’re an unbeatable opportunity to make a clean impression.

Consider washrooms as more than the left over space of an office building. They are a valuable part of the facility and contribute to the total experience of your company. If kept neat and clean, visitors are more likely to think the rest of your business is taken good care of as well. And as modern offices are becoming more connected – including our hygiene solutions – washroom cleaning is about to transform from static cleaning schedules to cleaning when and where it’s needed. Never again will your visitors run out or towels, paper or soap.

Washrooms - Tips & tricks

• Begin cleaning by focusing on less dirty surfaces and end up with cleaning the toilets and the floor.
• Use more than one cloth – preferably in a variation of colours so it becomes easy to designate different wipes for different areas within the washroom. Otherwise you are likely to be spreading germs around rather than cleaning.
• Mops and sponges rapidly become soiled and harbour large numbers of microorganisms – consider disposable solutions or change often and launder properly.
• Consider how details can have a positive impact on the impression for visitors, for example by using air fresheners or paying extra attention to the visual appearance of shiny surfaces like mirrors and handles.

Breakrooms and kitchenettes

Small high-traffic areas with big impact on employees’ wellbeing.

In the age of modern open office landscapes, breakrooms and kitchenettes are also becoming working areas, where employees not just eat and socialise but bring their computers and have ad hoc meetings too. These small areas have high traffic and needs to be both comfortable and easy to keep clean. In contrast, quite often it is unclear who’s actually responsible for keeping them clean; cleaners or employees?

Breakrooms and kitchenettes - Tips & tricks

• As breakrooms and kitchenettes are areas that often have limited space, choose a range of smaller dispensers.
• To make cleaning as easy as possible, begin by focusing on the least dirty surfaces and end with cleaning the floor.
• Remember that sanitisers do not work well on dirty or oily surfaces – they need to be cleaned first. Use hot water and detergent or other professional cleansers on greasy surfaces.
• Quite often it’s unclear who’s responsible for keeping breakrooms clean. Clarifying this will have a positive impact, and the best result is often achieved if cleaners have the main responsibility, with employees feeling a responsibility to keep it fresh and tidy while they are using it.

Reception

A clean impression lasts. Every client, guest and employee who enters your office receives the first impression about your company from your reception area. And it is a high traffic area, with dozens of people passing by continuously. As a result, reception areas can quickly become unclean. To build your image, this area is important to keep fresh, clean and welcoming at all times.

Napkins

High traffic means receptions risk becoming unclean faster than other office areas. If you serve coffee to visitors waiting in the reception area, make sure they can find a napkin dispenser and bin close by.

Reception - Tips & tricks

• The reception area is visitors’ first impression of your business – make sure to pay attention to the visual results of cleaning in this area.
• Remember to wipe high-touch surfaces (including touch screens and elevator buttons) regularly.
• Keep wiping solutions close by to make cleaning a swift and smooth task – whether its’ removing stains from coffee cups or counter the effect of bad weather outside.

Hygiene stand

High traffic can also be an opportunity to improve hygiene. Placing hygiene stands with hand sanitiser here is a great way to support visitors and employees passing by to keep their hands clean on the go.

Before, only one in four dispenser controls actually led to a refill. The routine was repetitive, always checking everywhere. Now I know exactly what’s needed by just looking at the tablet attached to my cleaning trolley.

The wall allows our customers to see the world through the eyes of the chef. And of course, our guests see that we work systematically with food preparation and have a high-quality, hygienic kitchen. Our kitchen routines are transparent and all details that constitute the workspace have been optimally designed to deliver on high expectations in terms of both hygiene and quality.

Tork SmartOne® is brilliant. We are so pleased with the success of SmartOne that we’ve rolled it out across all nine of our community sites and will never switch back to folded toilet tissue dispensers.

I was surprised that Tork EasyCube® could change the way we think. Now that we are used to the system we can keep one step ahead. If you love your customers you have to try this system – it will make you think like them.
